Abstract

Introduction: Patients with diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are especially predisposed to develop sarcopenia in light of the underlying pro-inflammatory state and decreased muscle use due to inactivity and pain. Objective: To verify the correlation of sarcopenia risk with nutritional status in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis assisted at a referral center in the Northeast. Methodology: Cross-sectional study with 114 patients aged between 18 and 85 years. Clinical information and anthropometric data were collected, and functional capacity was assessed using the SARC-F instrument along with handgrip strength (HGS). A probable sarcopenia was adopted with the SARC-F score with risk and inadequate HGS. Results: The mean age found in the group of adults was 41.89 (± 12.02, SD), while in the group of elderly people, this mean was 70.05 (± 8.47SD). There is a prevalence of overweight of 57.89% in adults and eutrophic in the elderly 36.84%. The SARC-F risk assessment of sarcopenia together with an HGS identified possible sarcopenia in 34.06% in the adult group. In the elderly, a very strong correlation was found between the variable SARC-F and HGS (r = 1,000) p = 0.000. Conclusion: prevalence, prevalence of overweight adults, and prevalence of normal weight in the elderly group, in relation to the strength of manual pressure, there is evidence of a prevalence of decreased muscle strength in the population studied.
